Buying Console Games Fom U.S or China

[johny5]

Has anyone bought a video game?
Did it work proper?
Anyone got any sites they would recomend?

Unless your console is compatible with the media, the games won't work at all.

The US has a different system to us and you will either need a console that has been chipped and can play NTSC games or you'll need to buy a PAL game from the States - which you will struggle finding.

A lot of the games from China pass themselves off as Region-Free, most of them are copies. I'm guessing you've looking on ebay and seen how cheap they are - check the postage costs first.

For a good site for cheap games based in the UK, check out http://www.shopto.net
